Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

It make me sick to see this team struggle like this on the road. Now it appears they will be on the road if they even make the playoffs. Drew is not the same QB on the road and cost us the past 2 weeks. I'm just freaking sick right now! :evil:

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Yeah Brees deserves some of the blame. Let's not let Payton off the hook either.

This was a team loss.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

If we make the playoffs, it was earned therefore deserved... no one is giving us anything.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

I'm hoping we don't make the playoffs offensive play calling has been shooty all year I don't want to see them get embarrassed playing on the road in the playoff's.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

No they don't. They are awful.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Props to the Panthers, they played this whole season with guts and determination. We played it like somebody owed us something.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

The defense is the only thing that kept us in the game the whole game....until the last 90'seconds. Then they just folded.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

And Drews ass is not worth 20 Mil a year to go 3-4 on the road. 2 weeks in a row he could of clinched the playoffs. 3 TO's by him last week and 2 costly today.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Christ almighty!

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Losing the 2 seed sucks but once the playoffs start... we can throw all that regular season mumbo jumbo in the trash can. It's a whole new ball game.

Remember the Giants.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

What good is "earning" a wildcard when they can not win on the road!
We just went from the #2 seed to the #6!

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

papz has it 100%.
If we get playoffs, then we deserved it. Otherwise who else deserved it more?

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

I can understand the pessimism... totally understandable. But just because we haven't been winning on the road doesn't mean we can't. What's the point in watching if we're packing our bags in advance?

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

It was Roman Harpers fault he allowed two big plays that lead Carolina in the red zone. Rob Ryan should have not had confidence in this guy to cover a TE man to man.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

At least we waited till now to pack our bag. The saints packed their bags a couple of weeks ago.

:dunce:

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Yup anything is possible in the playoffs. We still have a shot at number 2 seed I believe also. Not sure if I'm right. Cards have to lose. ATL has to beat Carolina next week and we have to beat Tampa.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

no. REALLY.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Okay, I had some car trouble this morning and didn't bother too watch because I was in a crappy mood.

That said, if the Saints make the playoffs, they earned it. And I will support them, they are my team. GEAUX SAINTS!!

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Playoffs?!? Playoffs?!? Playoffs?!?

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Hopefully we can get the tb game and ATL plays a weakened Carolina team like they played us. Another SB game.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

10 wins and suddenly we're "undeserving" of a playoff spot? Right, that makes literally zero sense

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

It's the "What have you done for me lately" disease. It's very contagious.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Saints are 1-3 in December. Does that should like a team that deserves the playoffs or could go far into the playoffs?

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

We are no clever on the road.
NFC record:
We are 3-4. There are 4 teams currently with a better on the road record. Only 4.

Where we are struggling is points on the board when on the road. We are very poor. Only TWO teams in NFC (and another 4 in the AFC) with less points. That smacks as an Offense problem.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

The season is 16 games. There are other months.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

One month does not define a whole season.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Now i have to do the unthinkable and root for Atlanta. Hurts my heart Vaccaro is out with a broken ankle. He will be missed covering te's.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Nope. But today's game certainly added something to the definition of our season.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Which can all be rectified. Our season is not over.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Cue the 'band wagon fans' comments. Carmichael is a better play caller than the supposedly enlightened Payton who took over play calling duties.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

About all we can hope for is that Dallas beats Philly to win the East and then we get the #5 seed.

That's our only hope for a road playoff win.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

How about everyone who is down on this loss just getting the hell off line until you can get your **** together and be a Saint fan or get the hell out of this forum for good. This is ridiculous.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

We will embarrass ourselves in the playoffs, if we havent already

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

I have confidence this team is going to the playoffs. Whether it's a Cards loss this week or us beating TB next week we'll make the playoffs because we earned it during a 16 game season.

I'm hoping that Atlanta comes to play next week. Final game at home, Tony G's last game. Crazier things have happened...

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Hopefully Carolina stays high in the clouds and lays an egg against the Falcons. I will never call Matt Ryan Shatty Ice again if they win. I will also refrain from posting that picture from now on.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

So what you are saying by this thread is that a #5 or #6?seed doesnt deserve to be in playoffs? Stupidest thread by far

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

I could care less what our rank is in the "POWER RANKINGS"
or
What the commentators say on TV
or
Whether we win making statements
or
What our rivals think for that matter.

I'll take the playoffs and a winning season any day of the week and be happy to have the opportunity to compete.

I'm also a Saints FAN until the day I die, whether the team wins or loses. Was a Saints fan my entire life before the Superbowl, have been and will be my entire life after.

:bng:

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

+1...and that 10-6 Packer team that won it all a few years ago. Get into the playoffs its all 0-0.

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Wow! Just, wow!

Re: Saints do not deserve the playoffs
 

Neither did Seattle a few years ago. But that didn't stop them from slapping us upside the head. Once the playoffs start it matters very little, if at all, what happened in the regular season.
